Details:
This limited edition EP takes a step in a new direction. With the exception of âThe Wavesâ, these studio tracks were recorded with fellow musicians Reggie Washington on bass (MeâShell Ndegeocello, Roy Hargrove), Gene Lake on drums (Marcus Miller, MeâShell Ndegeocello), and Joe Scott on keyboards (Lauryn Hill, J.T. Taylor). Together theyâve created this tightly knit sound which is truly soulful. The EP opens with âLike a Soldierâ which features guest vocalist Marc Nelson (original member of Boyz II Men) and Indira Khan (daughter of the famed singer Chaka Khan). This infectious groove will keep you moving from beginning to end and from the top to the bottom. Next up is âRhythm of Love (Two Thousand Sex).â This previously unreleased bonus track is something of a 70âs throw back a la Marvin Gaye. Although âPiece of Mineâ promises to be funkier than âI, too, am Colored, in Black & Whiteâ (Falconâs first Ghetto Drum release) there are moments which offer sheer beauty. Such a moment can be heard on the graceful composition âOctober Fallsâ. One night, after listening to Adam perform this song at the Bluebird Cafe in Nashville, I overheard a couple say the song was reminiscent of James Taylor. A statement like this leaves no stretch of the imagination considering at times Adamâs only vocal accompaniment is his acoustic guitar as demonstrated on âThe Waves.â This Lo-Fi solo version is fueled with passion and raw emotion. On this latest effort, once again, Adam is paired with producer Trevor Gale to give you âPiece of Mine.â
